Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yes I run my own mailserver. I have done it for the last 15 years or so.
@selfhosted
Could you share you solution? You don't have to! I am just curious how you do it since a lot of people seem to hate it, compared to self-hosting everything else.

Thank you. You and others are giving me a lot of options to consider!
@DidacticDumbass
You're welcome :)
@DidacticDumbass But yeah you're right. It's a mess nowadays with email hosting because Google for example just rejects everything except the other big services even if you comply with DKIM etc. Fuck them honestly
Wow. What is this. I did not know they do this. Google is looking more and more evil to me.
Fuck them. Even after completely degoogling they still manage to fuck everyone over.
Everything i have found online is very much against self hosting a email server. Because your email will almost always end up in people their spam or wont be delivered. How true is this statement?
@kylian0087
Well in my experience it's only true for Gmail. At Google there isn't really anything to do other than people whitelisting your email address individually. At Microsoft you can fill a form to get your server's IP whitelisted.
In addition I registered at Zoho so in my email client I have two SMTP servers - my own and Zoho so I can get through to Gmail if I need to. Any other service accepts your emails if you comply with DKIM, SPF etc.
Ahh oke. Thank you for the reply. This clears some clear misconceptions i hat.
